For every person who hates doctors, my request from now on no longer is to not to hate doctors.
But hate IAS more. Hate them from the core your heart . We even hate politicians.
We don’t hate them enough
We celebrate them.
No.
Hate them!

Most People would be celebrating HC Verma getting Padma Shri- which he deserves. But this guy - this one right here - he deserves Bharat Ratna and every accolade possible . A thread (1/n ) @cspramesh @DrGauravNarula @veeronco @nihardesai7 Dr. Kannan was a professor of Surgical Oncology at the well known Adyar Institute. Wife was in US Consulate. Life was good. But life and Dr. Kannan had other plans - He got a call from Silchar from another doctor to discuss a case to visit Silchar, which he reluctantly agreed.

The thing is generalisable to Bollywood and top officials posts too.
Pedigree kills merit.
Lateral entry to Top posts and not a scrambling amongst ‘IAS’ officers for all secreterial level posts. Why do IAS officers have a pedigree. Do people know that even IPS/IRS/IFS officers Have not held the post of say Defence secretary/Fiannce secretary etc. they cleared the same exam right?

Read the entire thread.
Remember SCAM 1992. Harshad Mehta not being allowed in money market by Citibank because he is an outsider?
They guy categorically states - it’s about pedigree.
You feel angry right?
That’s exactly why reservation is needed. We can’t be ostrich to pretend That caste based discrimination doesn’t happen. Or our older generation won’t pounce on an opportunity to make things exactly the way they were.
But What’s wrong is abuse of a well intentioned system.
Ambani too is an outsider.
His son can’t say - my ancestors were abused.

Since normalising everything is the current trend let’s normalise one thing that should have been long ago.
Let’s normalise being kind and not being an ass in general. Especially To our juniors in medicine.
Small acts of kindness goes a long way. Simply not being a jerk is fine My friend @anuragkaiims killed himself last year by jumping from the 10th floor of hostel building. heard the news almost and went to the Trauma centre.Told my SR that my friend is injured/tried to kill himself. 5 minutes later - a phone- BC tu kahan hai? Xray hona hai.

Well history has always been kinder to men than women.
Watson and Crick taking most of the credit for DNA helix while Rosalind Franklin was the actual ‘base’! While Watson and Crick developed the model based on experimental work done by the likes of Rosalind Franklin, it she who suffered the most.
X Ray diffraction and continued radiation exposure resulted in her having ovarian cancer and an untimely death at 37 y of age.

I'll go on record for how much I earn and have earned so that everyone stops thinking doctors keep on making money. This perception has to change.
I joined AIIMS when I was 17 in 2012. I started earning when I turned an intern in 2017.
My work involved frequent 24-hour duties 60- 80 hr a week was the norm, an exception.
Salary - 18000/Month.

Delhi has a population of 1.8 Cr. 72% of which is less than 45 y. 36L is above 45 y. We started vaccination in Jan. 2 months. Even if 50k-1L people were vaccinated in a day - the entire vulnerable population of Delhi could have beeen vaccinated before cases started to rise. We vaccinated measly 10-12k individuals in Feb. Similar trends in March. Only when people started to get sick that suddenly everyone wanted to get vaccinated.
Governments and politicians are equally to be blamed. Creating vaccine hesitancy in the middle of pandemics

214,535. My father added to that number last night.
He served this county for 34 years and was still going to serve for two more years.
He was a fighter pilot in the Indian Air Force, spirit he exhibited till the very last day and moment.
I’m whatever I’m today because of him I want him to be remembered. Not to be forgotten. For he is the face of this tragedy.
He had fought Leukemia bravely but succumbed to COVID.
I want people to know that death is not just a number.

Anyone wants to know what VIP culture is.
I’ll tell you.
Beds in AIIMS are vacant but shown occupied by people in private ward having just fever.
Won’t name the Politicians.
While my father - an Indian Air Force officer,fighting for this country for past 30 year- denied a bed I have myself served AIIMS for past 10 years. Still can’t get my father admitted to Trauma Centre.
My self a doctor and my father an Air Force officer.

His room air saturation is 70%.
He has Leukemia.
